He doesn\u2019t need us anymore. He said they should stop putting us on roster so we can go and stay at home&#8221; Ernestina Opoku, one of the workers told Citi News.<\/p>\n<p>Another fired worker, Paulina Bawa, told Citi News that she was told by management that she is ugly and not attractive enough to work at the Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Monday, my name was put on the duty roster but on Thursday I realized that my name had been removed and when I inquired I was told by my supervisors that according to the manager I am not beautiful enough to work there and that he needs beautiful girls to work there\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another dismissed worker, Linda Quaye, also recounted to Citi News that she was given no reason whatsoever for her dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe sent some off because he said their shape is not nice, they are ugly but with me they did not give any reason for sending me off\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, Management of the Hotel told Citi News that the accusations are totally false. According to the management of the Hotel, the allegations are a calculated attempt to dent the image of the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>The Human Resource Manager, Mrs Aku Aryie, said casual workers are employed as and when they are needed and released at the end of the usefulness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs and when we need extra hands we go to our agencies and they give the people to work with. When we finish we just let them go. So if we have gone in for casuals to work with them for a while and then we are okay and don\u2019t need them anymore we just let them go. So maybe making them go, some people will not be happy with the fact that we are letting them go\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The local Union Chairman, Charles Wubisa, expressed shock at the allegations. He described it as a deliberate attempt by the aggrieved workers to denigrate management of the Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo turn around and try to tarnish the image of Golden Tulip, people\u2019s reputation is at stake. I find it very sad that people will want to go that far to demonize, marginalize and destroy Golden Tulip beyond repairs\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_2033-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Visit link: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Some dismissed female casual workers of Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra are accusing management of dismissing them allegedly because they &#8220;have big buttocks.&#8221; Others claim the manager in question, Xavier Hubert arbitrarily terminated their appointments, claiming they were not beautiful enough and therefore did not meet the hotel&#8217;s standards.
